A few weeks ago we ran some stellar shots from Pat Blashill in the Monday Photo Blog, and we’re running some more. This batch is from the mid 1980s Texas punk era. I’m personally stoked to see the Meat Joy photo, as they were a bit of mysterious band for me. I used to hear them on Dave Fallis’ radio show on KGOU out of Norman, OK in the early to mid 80s. Then heard them on a Damned mix tape I found in a parking lot in Moore, OK in 1986 before finally procuring a copy of their self-titled LP on ESR/Flesh & Blood (seek it out). For more from Pat, check out his site.

Send your tour photos, bands that have come through your town, the best of your local bands, etc. to: *protected email*. Include your name, a link to your website (or flickr, Facebook, or whatever), and the band (or subject), date and location of each photo. Just send your best photos — edit tightly. Three to seven photos is plenty, and it’s best to send pictures of different bands. Please do not send watermarked photos. Please make your photos 72 dpi and about 600–800 pixels at the longest side. Not everything sent in will be posted, and a response is not guaranteed, but we do appreciate all of your contributions. Feel free to submit more than once. Thanks!
